Significance of wildfowl populations and their parasite fauna
Populations of wildfowl have been categorised taxonomically into five families: Phasianidae, Tetraonidae, Scolopacidae, Otidae and Anatidae. They are of particular importance for agriculture, forestry and the game economy, and certain species also have an important role in the epizootiology...

| description | Populations of wildfowl have been categorised taxonomically into five
families: Phasianidae, Tetraonidae, Scolopacidae, Otidae and Anatidae. They
are of particular importance for agriculture, forestry and the game economy,
and certain species also have an important role in the epizootiology of
parasitic infections in domestic fowl and fish. That is why it is extremely
important for the process of promoting the system of animal health protection
to have knowledge regarding the etiology and epizootiology of parasitic
infections in wildfowl. Diseases in wildfowl caused by protozoa are
histomoniasis, trichomoniasis, malaria, coccidiosis, cryptosporidiosis,
sarcocystosis, toxoplasmosis, and giardiasis. The most represented
helminthiases in wildfowl are singamosis, capillariasis, trichostrongyliasis,
ascaridiosis, heteraciosis, nematodosis of the glandular stomach, cestodoses
and trematodoses. The most significant ectoparasites in wildfowl are mites,
ticks, and fleas. The reduction of populations of certain widlfowl species in
nature could present a major problem, having in mind the important role of
these birds in ecosystems and biocenosis. The incidence, maintaining and
spreading of parasitic infections among widlfowl are just some of the factors
that affect the numbers of their populations. |
